In the first leg of the fourth qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League Legia Warsaw drew 1-1 with FC Steaua in Bucharest on Wednesday evening. Romanian footballers were prevailing in the first half and only due to Warsaw team’s goalkeeper’s great attitude they only were able to strike one goal.

- Frankly speaking, I didn’t want to play against Steaua. This Romanian club mostly consists of native footballers. They proved with last-season results that they had been demanding rivals. They managed to win the promotion to the 1/8 final of the UEFA Europa League and showed nice football – said Legia’s coach Jan Urban after UEFA Champions League 4th qualifying round draw.

Legia managed to defeat 1-0 Welsh The New Saints FC in the second leg of the second qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday evening and won the promotion to the third qualifying round.
